Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the technical field of shape memory alloy preparation, and specifically relates to a 4D printing method and application of titanium-nickel shape memory alloy.
- titanium-nickel shape memory alloy has excellent biocompatibility, and is widely used in the field of biomedicine, such as orthodontic wires, spine orthopedic rods, intramedullary needles/nails, angioplasty rings, and surgical micro forceps.
- biomedicine such as orthodontic wires, spine orthopedic rods, intramedullary needles/nails, angioplasty rings, and surgical micro forceps.
- it is widely used in the fields of pipe joints, pipe fixation, spring drive devices, temperature controllers, temperature sensor triggers and the like due to its excellent shape memory effect and super elasticity, and widely used in the fields of vibration control components, cone dampers and the like due to its high damping performance, and has application prospects in the fields of chemical industry, ship parts and the like due to its excellent corrosion resistance.
- the traditional preparation process (smelting casting, hot isostatic pressing, powder metallurgy, etc.) has the following problems: (1) The phase transition temperature is very sensitive to the chemical composition of the titanium-nickel shape memory alloy, and impurity elements (such as C, N and O) will be introduced in the smelting and casting process, which will affect the shape memory performance of the alloy; (2) the machinability of the titanium-nickel shape memory alloy is poor, which reduces the production efficiency; and (3) the cost of the traditional production process of the memory alloy is high, which makes the final product expensive, not conducive to wide use.
- impurity elements such as C, N and O
- 4D printing is an additive manufacturing technology for smart materials.
- the “D” in 4D printing refers to dimensions such as time and space. 4D printing enables the shape, performance or function of smart components to respond quickly to changes in time and space driven by temperature, stress and other external fields according to the pre-design, so as to achieve an integrated design of structure and function. Therefore, the 4D printing technology proposed by the present invention can realize Selective Laser Melting (SLM) forming of titanium-nickel alloy powder.
- SLM Selective Laser Melting
- SLM technology can directly melt metal powder completely under the heat effect of laser beam according to a 3D data model and solidify the melt into a metal part with good metallurgical bonding and high precision, especially suitable for the manufacture of complex thin-walled precision components such as those with thin walls, complicated internal cavities and internal flow paths that are difficult to achieve by traditional machining techniques.
- the molten powder of the SLM technology has a high cooling rate during solidification and experiences a wide range of non-equilibrium solidification in the cooling process, which can refine the grains and increase the solid solubility, so that the formed part has fine and compact structure, uniform composition, and excellent performance.
- the SLM technology can also reduce the capital investment in mold design, and only needs about 20% of the cost of the traditional manufacturing process and about 10% of the time to manufacture the required parts, greatly improving the production efficiency.
- the energy suitable for the additive manufacturing of titanium-nickel alloy was usually 50-100 J/mm 3 , which was relatively low, and the optimal tensile properties of the additively manufactured titanium-nickel alloy included a tensile strength of 606 MPa and an elongation of 6.8%.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention belongs to the technical field of shape memory alloy preparation, and specifically relates to a 4D printing method and application of titanium-nickel shape memory alloy.
- Among many shape memory alloys, titanium-nickel shape memory alloy has excellent biocompatibility, and is widely used in the field of biomedicine, such as orthodontic wires, spine orthopedic rods, intramedullary needles/nails, angioplasty rings, and surgical micro forceps. Besides, it is widely used in the fields of pipe joints, pipe fixation, spring drive devices, temperature controllers, temperature sensor triggers and the like due to its excellent shape memory effect and super elasticity, and widely used in the fields of vibration control components, cone dampers and the like due to its high damping performance, and has application prospects in the fields of chemical industry, ship parts and the like due to its excellent corrosion resistance.
- However, for the titanium-nickel shape memory alloy, the traditional preparation process (smelting casting, hot isostatic pressing, powder metallurgy, etc.) has the following problems: (1) The phase transition temperature is very sensitive to the chemical composition of the titanium-nickel shape memory alloy, and impurity elements (such as C, N and O) will be introduced in the smelting and casting process, which will affect the shape memory performance of the alloy; (2) the machinability of the titanium-nickel shape memory alloy is poor, which reduces the production efficiency; and (3) the cost of the traditional production process of the memory alloy is high, which makes the final product expensive, not conducive to wide use. Therefore, for precision and complex titanium-nickel alloy parts such as porous structures and actuators, there are problems with the traditional process, such as inability to form or high forming costs. As a result, exploring a new process for forming the titanium-nickel alloy and expanding the application field of the titanium-nickel alloy without reducing the performance have become an urgent problem to be solved.
- 4D printing is an additive manufacturing technology for smart materials. The “D” in 4D printing refers to dimensions such as time and space. 4D printing enables the shape, performance or function of smart components to respond quickly to changes in time and space driven by temperature, stress and other external fields according to the pre-design, so as to achieve an integrated design of structure and function. Therefore, the 4D printing technology proposed by the present invention can realize Selective Laser Melting (SLM) forming of titanium-nickel alloy powder.
- SLM technology can directly melt metal powder completely under the heat effect of laser beam according to a 3D data model and solidify the melt into a metal part with good metallurgical bonding and high precision, especially suitable for the manufacture of complex thin-walled precision components such as those with thin walls, complicated internal cavities and internal flow paths that are difficult to achieve by traditional machining techniques. Besides, the molten powder of the SLM technology has a high cooling rate during solidification and experiences a wide range of non-equilibrium solidification in the cooling process, which can refine the grains and increase the solid solubility, so that the formed part has fine and compact structure, uniform composition, and excellent performance. In addition, the SLM technology can also reduce the capital investment in mold design, and only needs about 20% of the cost of the traditional manufacturing process and about 10% of the time to manufacture the required parts, greatly improving the production efficiency.
- At present, there are few reports on successful cases of using the SLM technology to prepare high-performance titanium-nickel alloy and the parts thereof. This preparation is difficult in the following aspects: (1) It is difficult to machine the titanium-nickel alloy; (2) the titanium-nickel alloy has complex phase composition including a B2 austenite phase, a B19′ martensite phase, an R phase, a precipitation phase and so on, which have low thermal conductivity, not conducive to 4D printing forming; and (3) the 4D printing process is contradictory in that it requires sufficiently high energy to completely melt the metal powder to obtain nearly fully dense bulk materials, while requires sufficiently low energy input to minimize the temperature gradient and residual stress between the molten pool and the powder to avoid cracking tendency. In the research report on the additive manufacturing of titanium-nickel alloy (Reference 1: Prog. Mater. Sci. 83 (2016) 630-663), the energy suitable for the additive manufacturing of titanium-nickel alloy was usually 50-100 J/mm3, which was relatively low, and the optimal tensile properties of the additively manufactured titanium-nickel alloy included a tensile strength of 606 MPa and an elongation of 6.8%. The targeted alloy system was Ni50.1Ti49.9 (Reference 2: Mater. Sci. Eng. A 724 (2018) 220-230), and the optimal shape memory performance of the additively manufactured titanium-nickel alloy was a recovery angle of 20°. The targeted alloy system was Ni50.9Ti49.1 (Reference 3: Sci. Rep. 7 (2017) 46707). In view of these, it is necessary to develop a method of using the additive manufacturing technology to prepare the high-performance titanium-nickel shape memory alloy, so as to expand the industrial application field of the titanium-nickel alloy.
- In order to improve the current situation that the high-performance titanium-nickel alloy and the parts thereof cannot be formed by 4D printing technology, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a 4D printing method for forming the titanium-nickel shape memory alloy.
- This method has fast manufacturing speed and short production cycle, and allows batch production, individualized manufacturing and remote control, especially suitable for thin-walled, special-shaped and complex-structured products. Meanwhile, it effectively solves the problems encountered in the traditional process, making the production more environmentally friendly and more efficient, greatly speeding up application of the titanium-nickel alloy. Moreover, the present invention provides a new process path for preparing ultra-high performance titanium-nickel alloy.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a titanium-nickel shape memory alloy prepared by the above method.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned titanium-nickel shape memory alloy in the preparation of eyeglass frames, orthodontic wires, compression bone plates, spinal orthopedic rods, drive devices, executive components, complex dampers, corrosion-resistant equipment, intelligent temperature control devices, self-expanding trusses, self-expanding communication satellite parts, variant aircraft parts, etc.

The microstructure is different from the reported observed square grains, lamellar martensite, fine grains, and S-shaped grains (
References 1, 2 and 4: Mater. Charact. 94 (2014) 189-202; Reference 5: Acta Mater. 144 (2018) 552-560). For the nano-scale cellular crystals, the grain boundaries are composed of discontinuous Ti2Ni precipitates with a size of 20-180 nm, and there are a large number of nano-scale twin crystals inside; the micron-scale dendrites have inside high-density dislocations and a dispersed Ti2Ni nanoparticle phase with a size of 5-30 nm. - The above-mentioned titanium-nickel shape memory alloy is applied in the preparation of eyeglass frames, orthodontic wires, compression bone plates, spinal orthopedic rods, drive devices, executive components, complex dampers, corrosion-resistant equipment, intelligent temperature control devices, self-expanding trusses, self-expanding communication satellite parts, variant aircraft parts, etc.

The plasma mainly has two effects: (1) the thermal effect; and (2) the high-energy electron bombardment effect. The electron temperature of the plasma can be as high as 104 K; the high-speed and high-temperature pulse electrons impact the surface of the material, which increases the thermal stress and strain in the micro-area of the powder surface, leading to the “thermal explosion” phenomenon of the material. In addition, with the material particles in the plasma highly active, when these particles are adsorbed and deposited on the surface of the powder, they will cause high-energy activation of the surface of the material, improve the diffusion ability of the powder atoms, and discharge to induce mechanisms such as self-propagating reactions. The coupling of plasma and mechanical vibration can greatly accelerate the surface modification of the titanium-nickel alloy powder, significantly reduce the reaction activation energy, greatly improve the activity of the titanium-nickel alloy powder and enhance the synthesis ability of compounds, promote the diffusion of atoms or ions, and induce low-temperature reactions. This improves the interaction between the titanium-nickel alloy powder and laser in the subsequent 4D printing forming process, which makes the titanium-nickel alloy powder melt faster and then the nucleation speed increased, thereby obtaining a microstructure with unique ultra-high performance.
- The preparation method of the present invention and the obtained product have the following advantages and beneficial effects:
- (1) The titanium-nickel shape memory alloy, as an intermetallic compound, has low thermal conductivity and large thermal stress, which is easy to cause cracking. Therefore, the alloy is usually formed with low energy density (50-100 J/mm3), and it is difficult to form dense and high-performance titanium-nickel alloy with high energy density. The processed titanium-nickel alloy powder of the present invention can be formed at an energy density of 150 J/mm3≤E≤300 J/mm3; the prepared titanium-nickel alloy has a density of ≥99.5%, significantly higher strength and elongation compared with the titanium-nickel alloy formed by the reported SLM technology, as well as much better shape memory performance than those reported in the current literature.

- (3) 4D printing forming: Using SLM forming equipment (Model Concept Laser M2) to perform 4D printing forming on the powder after discharge treatment; the process parameters were as follows: laser power P=70 W, laser scanning speed v=105 mm/s, laser scanning distance h=100 μm, thickness of the powder layer t=30 μm, and energy input density E=P/v×h×t=222 J/mm3; the specific forming steps were as follows: constructing a three-dimensional model of the structural parts to be prepared, and inputting the model into Magics 15.01 for layered processing; inputting data file into SLM forming equipment, setting the process parameters, and saving these settings; sealing the forming chamber, and using a vacuum pump to evacuate the forming chamber to a vacuum of 6×10−2 Pa; then filling the forming chamber with high-purity protective argon gas to ensure that the oxygen content in the forming chamber was always below 200 ppm during the laser forming process; pre-spreading the titanium-nickel alloy powder uniformly to a thickness of 30 μm on a substrate using a powder-spreading device, and sending the excess powder to a recovery tank for later collection and reuse; melting the pre-spread alloy powder by a laser according to the set process parameters as well as the designed slice shape and laser scanning strategy, then lowering the formed substrate by a distance of the powder spreading thickness (30 μm), and pre-spreading again the powder of the same thickness on the melted layer to get melted by the laser again.
